Conner Smith Breaks Silence Over His Involvement In Crosswalk Car Accident Death, Says His “Heart Is Broken” For Victim

Conner Smith has broken his silence after accidentally striking and killing 77-year-old Dorothy “Dot” Dobbins, a prominent Nashville attorney, as she walked in a crosswalk on June 8. Smith, who received a misdemeanor citation for his role in the fatal crash, expressed his remorse with a post on Instagram on Friday (July 11). “Four weeks ago, I was involved in a tragic vehicle accident that resulted in the loss of a life,” wrote the 24-year-old country singer. “Not a day has gone by that I haven’t grieved, prayed, and mourned for Ms. [Dorothy] Dobbins and her family. My heart is broken in a way I’ve never experienced, and I still struggle to fully process the weight of it all. I ask that you continue to lift the Dobbins family up in prayer by name, asking for God’s peace to surround them each day.”  Smith was charged with a misdemeanor traffic offense instead of a felony, underscoring his lack of criminal intent in the incident.
